Napoleon's decision to sell Louisiana to the United States was key to ensuring America's further development as a world power. The decision of the French leader was due to the fear that he had that Great Britain would take control of the territory, with which the sale to the Americans put a limit to British colonialism in the region.

Now, the Louisiana acquisition allowed the United States to consolidate its westward expansion, while for the first time able to dominate most of the North American continent. In this way, with this territorial dominance and a greater presence on the continent, expansionism based on Manifest Destiny was exacerbated and the United States began to acquire new territories, increasing its economic productivity and its dominance over other countries.

What specific information do you find when looking up a word in a basic dictionary?

<span>When you look up a word in a basic dictionary, there is quite a bit of information you’ll find. Of course, you’ll find the definition of the word. If the word, however, has more than one meaning, all meanings will be presented in the entry. The word will be spaced out into syllables. You’ll see the phonetic pronunciation of the word. For instance, if you look up the word, “happy,” you’ll see “hap-ee.” In addition, some dictionaries will also present a word’s language origin (such as Latin or French) as well as the part of speech such as whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, etc. </span>
